Default Recaro seats. general questions on them

I have a few questions:
1) Do you sit real low in Recaro's?
2) A good place to get them from?
3) Is there a good fake Recaro made by some company? im pretty poor


I have no friends that have these seats that I can ask so i must turn to H-T. Thank you to all who respond.

Just get Recaro SRDs, not the JDM Honda model Recaros, they are still expensive, but a good $500+ less than the JDM Recaros, very nice seats.

This depends a lot on which rails you buy. If you go to this site:
http://hybridautomotive.com/parts/interior.html
you can get some rails that will make the seats sit low in the car.
I had the Civic Type R rails on my Recaros and they sat higher than I liked.

Tenzo R makes Recaro Copies. They are pretty inexpensive
Good luck.

I had the chance to sit in one. They feel similar in padding to the recaro's. The fabric doesn't feel as nice, and some have said they fade in the sun. I can't personally vouch for that. But for the price, they felt like good seats! Especially if you're on a budget.
